Kit Check - Prussian/Russian Cavalry - Perry Miniatures

[@shring7]

Great review, the perrys are spoiling us as usual.

[@thelastbattalion3509]

Completely agree.

[@WarGamingNewbHistorical]

Always nice to see new Perry kits. Fantastic!

[@thelastbattalion3509]

It’s really good, combining multiple potential units into one was a great idea and they’ve done really well fitting all the options in.

[@theenigmaticgamer]

Very helpful review, thanks.

[@thelastbattalion3509]

Glad you liked it.

[@Castillo525]

Thank you for this video, Im looking forward to starting a prussian army and was very glad plastic cavalry was released!

[@thelastbattalion3509]

You’re welcome, I think we’re lucky to be hobbying at a time when these great news sets are becoming available!

[@rustedplate1845]

Really great you are back. Waiting for more and more Napoleonics!

[@thelastbattalion3509]

Thanks, it’s been a little while.

This looks to be the best plastic cavalry release from Perry. Huge variety of troop options and info plus quality flags.

[@thelastbattalion3509]

One thing I didn’t focus on was the flags, which is my error, it’s because I don’t use them. Otherwise yes, possibly their best cavalry so far (although I do quite like the Austrian dragoon/cheavaulger set).

[@basicminiaturepainting]

Really great review and the info sheet you get is superb,and the brigade deal is just ideal

[@thelastbattalion3509]

Thank you, yep the info sheet is really good.

[@bonysminiatures3123]

A concise review as always , got my eye on a particular regiment , new Russia regiment look interesting with green facings

[@thelastbattalion3509]

Thank you very much. It's hard not to want to start new things when a new release comes out.

[@israelrodriguez4365]

Nice presentation!

[@thelastbattalion3509]

Thank you.

[@henryferro7344]

does anybody know if you can convert the russian dragoons to cuirassiers?

[@thelastbattalion3509]

The most obvious issue would be the lack of cuirass, which I suppose you might be able to sculpt on with the right patience and materials. I think that it might be quite a long-winded and fiddly thing to do, although not impossible.

[@josephwalukonis9934]

Well, from 1801 to 1812, as far as I can tell from Viskovatov, Russian Cuirassiers did not wear the cuirass. I am planning to use Russian Dragoons even though the saddle cloths were a bit different.

[@HordesofThings]

Thanks for this, higher resolution than 360 would be good for miniatures though! :)

[@thelastbattalion3509]

It’s uploaded in 1080p50 HD - your device might be autoplaying it in 360, my phone does that.

[@HordesofThings]

@@thelastbattalion3509 Cheers it is avaialbe now in 1080, I must have just seen it immediately after you uploaded it and before it had done the final HD processing step :)

[@thelastbattalion3509]

Not to worry, as you say it was probably KZbin finishing the background processing, you were just too keen!

[@johnrohde5510]

The Prussian coat is called a Litewka, pronounced Lit-eff-kah. It's an originally Polish-Lithuanian garment. A small part of the old Grand Duchy of Lithuania was part of Napoleonic Prussia: the area of Memel.

[@thelastbattalion3509]

Despite reading that word for the better part of 20 years, I've never actually noticed that it runs 'ew' and not 'we', hence my pronunciation! Every day's a school day.
